More than 3,000 'No Kings' protest events are scheduled to take place across all 50 states on Saturday, with organizers expecting over 9 million participants in demonstrations against the Trump administration.

Minnesota will host the flagship rally at the State Capitol in St. Paul, where organizers have told state oversight agencies that up to 100,000 people could attend. The event will feature performances by Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez, and appearances by Senator Bernie Sanders and actress Jane Fonda. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced he will attend the Minneapolis rally.

The protests represent the third round of 'No Kings' demonstrations, following events in June that drew an estimated 5 million participants at over 2,100 locations, and October rallies that attracted approximately 7 million people at more than 2,700 events. The movement is organized by a coalition of groups opposing what they characterize as authoritarianism under the Trump administration.

Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible, one of the organizing groups, said the national organizers chose Minnesota as the flagship location following federal immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis earlier this year. Two Minneapolis residents, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, were killed in January during confrontations involving federal officers during immigration operations.

Springsteen composed a song titled 'Streets of Minneapolis' in response to the events in Minnesota and has incorporated the 'No Kings' slogan into his upcoming tour. The musician has previously criticized Trump, calling his administration a threat to American democracy and the Constitution.

The protest movement has expanded internationally, with rallies planned in more than a dozen countries including Canada, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Australia. In countries with constitutional monarchies, organizers are calling the events 'No Tyrants' protests.
